I think that a capper at a 55% win rate has a 5.5% advantage at -110 to win 100. What is the advantage at reduced juice of -105 to win 100?

Thanks again!!!

Well, a 55% win rate is 11 wins and 9 losses out of 20 bets.
Total bet in 20 bets = 2200
Profit = (gain from 11 wins) - (loss from 9 losses) = 1100 - 990 = 110
Advantage = 110 / 2200 = 5%

If you reduce the bets from 110 to 105:
Total bet in 20 bets = 2100
Profit = 1100 - 945 = 155
Advantage = 155 / 2100 = 7.381%

Yep. I get the same thing using a HE formula


=((((100/110)+1)*0.55)-1)*100
= 5%

=((((100/105)+1)*0.55)-1)*100
7.381%

Thanks guys and girls!!

That sure shows that it pays to shop lines and juice!!! There is a huge difference with those numbers.

It would surely reduce variance also

Yep.

=(((100/105)+1)*(SQRT(0.55*0.45)))*105
101.9862123

=(((100/110)+1)*(SQRT(0.55*0.45)))*110
104.4736809

and your EV / SD is even higher. That is the best news!


added:
Almost forgot.

With the 100/105 bets you still are a little higher at 5.0380952% edge
with only a 53.8% win rate

54% rate = 5.4285714% edge

plenty of nickle lines except baseball which actually does have a 5 cent line over night

Does Bovada have 5 cent line?
